Was the star of Bethlehem a real astronomical event?
RE: Was the star of Bethlehem a real astronomical event?
Hi, C-R, and thanks again for the documents. I have been going through them, though I haven't had the emotional strength of late to devote as much time to them as I would have liked. I did try to find out more about Mosley though, I'd never heard of him before this and I was a little uneasy about some of his conclusions. The only references I've been able to unearth about him have been about this Beth Star 'theory' which seems to have shifted many books for him. There are a couple of articles I thought were interesting enough to present for general dissection: this summary of a TV debate or documentary from 1994, which makes some bold claims about Herod among other things; and an article addressing "Common Errors in "Star of Bethlehem" Planetarium Shows" with similar claims.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'
